Satan's Jewel Crown
E B E
Now if I were a queen and a ruler of nations
A E
With diamonds and jewels profound
B E
Well, I'd rather know that I had salvation
B
Than to know my reward
E
Would be Satan's jewel crown
B
Satan's jewel crown
E A E
I've worn it so long but God for my soul has reached down
B
His love set me free
E B
He made me his own, and helped me cast off
E B E
Satan's jewel crown
B E
Oh, the life that I live so sinful and needless
A E
Drinkin' and runnin' around
B E
All the things that I do for the love of the devil
B
I know my reward
E
Will be Satan's jewel crown
B E
Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long
A E
But God for my soul has reached down
B
His love set me free
E B
He made me his own, and helped me cast off
E A E
Satan's jewel crown
